The Pi Project
aka, playing with numbers!
This next year Pi Day will fall on 3.14.15! A very cool combination!
In celebration The Pi Project plans to make a very long ribbon of fabric
numbers, all sewn together, with the correct sequence of pi. The
public is being encouraged to participate by donating 9.5" x 9.5"
numbers. Details can be found
here.
I decided this might be a fun project, so I spent the day making
numbers! And if you are curious, I didn't make them in order, nor did I
intend to make this many! I planned to make just a few, maybe three?
But then I started having too much fun!!

both 8's use some of my hand made batiks, the first has hand-stitching, the second machine stitching. I liked them both, so decided to send both! |

Playing with them now! Don't they look cute in this hopscotch layout! Might be fun to make a quilt like this!
